• On the right, click and drag the scroll bar to a speed between 2 and 3 RPM.

• Press "save"  then "escape".

• Start rotation.

• Look to see if the cup is spinning smoothly in the chamber. Make sure the cup can do one full rotation.

  • If the cup is struggling to rotate, refer to the Troubleshooting guide's section on rotation.

• If the cup rotates successfully, open the rotation window again.

• Click on the button that shows the current speed.

• Click and drag the bar all the way to the bottom so it shows 0 RPM.

• Press the up arrow once so the speed is 0.01 RPM.

• Save.
